# Follow-Up Questions Dataset
## Description
This dataset is derived from the QuAC (Question Answering in Context) dataset and has been processed to pair previous answers with follow-up questions. It is intended for research and development in natural language processing, specifically for training and evaluating models on generating or understanding follow-up questions in conversational contexts.

# Source
The original QuAC dataset is available at QuAC.ai. The QuAC dataset is distributed under the CC-BY-4.0 license.

# Modifications
The original QuAC dataset has been processed to create pairs of previous answers and follow-up questions. The first question in each conversation has been removed, as it does not have a preceding answer.

# Structure
Each row in the dataset represents a pair of a previous answer and a follow-up question. The columns are as follows:
- `prev_answer`: The answer to the previous question in the conversation.
- `followup_question`: The follow-up question related to the previous answer.

# Usage
This dataset can be used for training and evaluating models on tasks related to follow-up question generation or understanding in conversational contexts.
